Alot of countries play Basketball and are really good at it, take Spain for example. Then also there is the whole euro-league which is a really ******* good level of Basketball, there just isnt as much funding as there is in the NBA.
Inventing a sport and being almost the only ones that play.
Sweden has won 7 out of 9 possible gold medals and 2 silver medals. Men's side. And the women have won a lot too. Floorball
More people die playing football per year than people die in Rugby in 10, the pads are necessary, before the pads there were a few deaths in every other game.
true plus lotta foreigners are starting to excel at sports in britian, boxing kickboxing soccer rugby...slow take over. Hell beckham is jewish and is the best soccer playa eva
it was *************** when they were kicked out of the world cup in that game, the red card at the beginning was appalling, i raged so ******* hard. Wales had been one of the best teams the entire series, and were gonna go all the way to the final in my opinion
I think you'll find the only cricket sets in Scotland are sold without the ball and are usually recycled from crime scenes.
Don't know about Wales, but N. Ireland is the same as Scotland.
I was going to say I've never heard of Jamaica being any good at cricket, and I agree, while we may not be the best, our cricket and rugby teams are pretty ******* impressive. (I wont go into football however..)
The springboks? I usually just use the All Blacks for reactions because they're the easiest to recognize for people who don't play/watch rugby constantly. Being a forward myself I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Tendai Mtawarira
yeah the springboks, but they are also recognised as one of the the bigger teams. and though i hate how much of a bastard he is, one of my favorite forwards has to be Bakkies Botha. He's a phenomenal player
oh cool, i've always wanted to go to america, what do you make of the all blacks as they are now? a whole year of no losses. but i think south africa will get their act together next game and could just push them. because at the moment they're slaughtering everyone
I think the All blacks are going to hit their peak soon, but I don't know. They're such a great team, and the great hands, rucks, and kicking really helps them. I think if the Springboks can connect their speed with all their fundamentals they could easily beat the all blacks.
i'm not too sure about peaking, they have a brilliant balance of experienced player who are also pretty young, and could carry ont the next world cup if lucky.
As for the springboks i think they need to focus on the fundamentals more, they were torn apart by the all blacks because the dropped the ball, couldn't hold the all blacks back and generally kept ******* up. And they only got as far as the did bacause of Habanna. The rest was a poor game for me
Yeah, it seems like the All blacks keep getting better and better every year, despite their incredible record. I agree, their hands can be iffy at times but the speed and power is amazing. They just gotta get those basics down!
definately, but i really want Australia to get their act together, they've been losing so much and are in a hell of a slum right now. So the only rivals to New Zealand are england and south africa, does ameirca have any rugby teams?
******* ...just look at the comments!
I can't believe how many British people on this site get
so sore when they see a post that does anything but
praise Britain. Americans can take the jokes, why can't we?
Props to you sir. You are the first European I have ever seen on this site who can take what he gives out. When a 'Murica joke is made and there are butthurt Americans in the comments, all of you guys say "get over it, its just a joke," then react like this when something as small as your sports teams are made fun of.
Tennis is being dominated by a Spaniard in mens while Americans are dominating womens, Golf, well it used to be Tiger Woods and Mickelson but now it's in all up in the air.
wtf is snooker?
www.medalspercapita.com/ Shows medals in relation to population. Interesting to see that Britain America China didn't dominate the olympics if you look at it like this.
You're obviously not British... The most commonly played sports are; football, cricket and rugby... All of which are listed above. I also disagree with this post so much... We're good at cricket!
